On June 4, 1867, in Rowan County, North Carolina 21-year-old Rufus F. Ludwick (Ludwig) killed his bride of 11 days 19-year-old Milly (Campbell). He had shot her through the head, slit her throat, and weighed her body down in a creek.
On June 27, 1868, Rufus would hang in Salisbury.
I could only find two sources on this murder, the other one was behind a paywall, and could not read the article.
